daniel publishes the book without consent and leaves louis to deal with the consequences, fareed leaves, rashid leaves, lestat is angry at him for something he didn’t do. quite the accurate experience of everyone you know dropping you after you come out as an abuse victim.
Louis has seen Lestat's vulnerability he knows he can be a wreck . I believe Louis was ACTIVELY checking on Lestat ever since the reunion until the book came out . And then he started checking on him PASSIVELY and secretly bc he knew Lestat was in trouble . 🙂
